Sustainability Office

NOVA’s Sustainability Office was established in October 2012 to provide a single point of contact for environmental initiatives and projects across the College.

The mission of the Sustainability Office is to reduce NOVA’s carbon footprint and educate future generations in environmentally sustainable policies and practices. The office aims to achieve this through a combination of projects and initiatives spanning campus operations, academics, workforce training, college community behavior, and external engagement and community outreach.
